Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A display apparatus including a plurality of display elements, each having a capacitance, wherein a drive current or voltage according to display data is provided to each one of the plurality of display elements after the display elements are precharged, thereby causing the display elements to emit light of a luminance corresponding to the display data, the display apparatus comprising: a precharge stopper which prevents a display element from being precharged when the display data supplied to the display element corresponds to a specific state, wherein the specific state is corresponding to non-emission state of the display element.
2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the precharge stopper includes a comparator which compares the display element corresponds to a specific state.
3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display elements are organic electroluminescent (EL) elements.
4. A display apparatus including a plurality of display elements, each having a capacitance, wherein a drive current or voltage according to display data is provided to each one of the plurality of display elements after the display elements are precharged, thereby causing the display elements to emit light of a luminance corresponding to the display data, the display apparatus comprising: a precharge stopper which prevents a display element from being precharged when the display data supplied to the display element corresponds to a specific state, and a non-display region discriminator which discriminates a partial non-display region of the display apparatus on the basis of partial display information, wherein the precharge stopper prevents precharging of the display elements included in the partial non-display region.
5. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the display elements are organic electroluminescent (EL) elements.
6. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the precharge stopper includes a comparator which compares the display element corresponds to a specific state.
